[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Problems using Component Browser

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

I see a bug with invoking setText() consecutive times, so I've logged
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289470 .  I believe this is at
least part of your problem, but your case seems more complicated if there
are new windows opening, etc.  If this report does not capture your case
adequately then you'll need to provide a snippet that shows what you're
doing.

One detail to note about setText() is that this works on all browser
implementations by navigating to about:blank and then setting the page
content from the string.  For this reason calling back() and forward()
likely will not do what you want because once you navigate away from a page
whose content came from setText() that page's content is gone.  So instead
of calling back() and forward() you'll have to maintain your own page
history and call setText() to navigate between pages in the history.  This
is of course dependent on the fix for
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289470 .
